Paragliding from Mont Blanc – KIT LIST

- 25°C 4300 metres

+ 25°C 2300 metres

As far as kit is concerned little has changed in the 38 years since I first climbed Mont Blanc. You need the best, rugged all weather, high mountain kit you can get.  If you can get the same performance from lighter weight then go for it. Remember light weight kit does not reduces the need to be at top form.

This is what I had but didn’t take the bivi stuff **when we went to the summit
